Greetings Dear Reader,
Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.
When I attended my first minor league game of the year the temperature
was in the forties. I sat bundled in a
winter coat whilst our local team played an excellent game. I will take my Grandson’s to their first game
of the season tomorrow night.
They love going to the games with me although they do not
yet share my love for baseball. That may
come in time. Amidst the changes occurring
in my life baseball is a constant. With
its continuous binary moments baseball is constantly shifting and
changing. In that constant change is the
stability of is the constant in the chaos.
Every choice yields either success of failure. Every opportunity missed by one team is one
gained by the other.
The baseball diamond is a battlefield with no quarter or
ties. Somebody will win. You do not need to win every skirmish to win
the battle. You do not need to win every
battle to win the war. You do have to
keep moving forward. Wins must outnumber
losses. The past is only standings and
statistics. It is the next moment that
matters. It is the continuous cycle of
binary moments that carries one to the pennant.
I am supposed to live in every one of those moments choosing
to have faith and follow. Even when I am
down in the count I am never down for the count. I need to stay in box, focus, and wait for my
pitch. I don’t know when it is coming
but I know that it will. My job is to be
ready.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”
